Design Requirements

When using the REF50xx in the design, select a proper output capacitor that does not create gain peaking, thereby increasing total system noise. At the same time, select a capacitor that provides the required filtering performance for the system. Add input bypass capacitor and noise reduction capacitors for peak performances. During the design of the data acquisition system, give equal consideration to the buffering analog input signal and the reference voltage. Having a properly designed input buffer with an associated RC filter is a necessary requirement for good performance of the data acquisition system.
